Dear list member

As you may have seen by now, a demo version of the new Archives Canada site
has been released by its developers, Artefactual, at
http://archivescanada.accesstomemory.org/. 

During July, Artefactual will be adding information from all of the
provincial networks to the Archives Canada service.  Information held in
Archeion will automatically be transferred to Archives Canada on a regular
basis but the main initial upload will be happening next month. If you're an
institutional member of the AAO which isn't already listed in Archeion, and
you would like to see your repository represented in the national site, you
need to get in touch with me so that we can arrange for that to happen. If
you want to, you can just have information on your repository's location and
opening hours listed: inclusion doesn't have to involve having any archival
descriptions created and uploaded. 

If you have an institutional logo which is not already in the demo Archives
Canada site, you can change that by sending it in PNG format in an email to
[log in to unmask] with the subject line of "Archives Canada ISDIAH: [Your
institution name]". The logo should have maximum dimensions of 270 pixels,
minimum of 200. You can also include a banner, which should be 800 pixels
wide and between 100 and 300 pixels high. If your institution does not have
a map displaying in Archives Canada yet, Artefactual will also need your
latitude and longitude coordinates.

All best,

Amanda
